Me....
Real name:
Kate
Where do you live?
Hillsboro, Oregon
Explanation of your handle:
My X and I had an old Harley and some time around the time I knew I was leaving him he gave me permission to buy a bike (he meant a new Harley so he could ride it too) so I bought a custom built road bike much to his surprise! I was also riding with a group of guys training to do the Aids ride and they thought it was so funny that I bought a bicycle instead of a Harley they called me a real bikerchic. The name stuck.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told:
I didn't do it!
Most memorable moment on my bike:
Pace lining with two guys on the Palm Springs 50 miler, it was freakin awesome and I never felt so alive as I did then. Have you ever felt like one with your bike, when every thing just clicks and you are suspended in time? Well that was a time like that for me. It was so sureal something I'll never forget.
Most fun ever had on a bike?
*wiping tears from my eyes* Rides with my sister. She lives over a thousand miles away from me now. She and I started our road riding together training for El Tour de Tucson 50 miler in 1998. We were hooked early on and had so many wonderful "training" rides together. We did some pretty goofy things, the kind of things only sisters share. What fun we had and I miss her dearly. Oh and I miss riding with her too.
Life is like a 10 speed bike, we all have gears we never use.
